    The Witcher 3 is a masterpiece, that sets you into a world of darkness, beauty and wonders that NO OTHER GAME HAS DONE.

    Geralt (the main character), is the most likeable stoic character to ever grace literary world. (Yeah, this started out as a fantasy novel series.) At first, he may seem like some bland badass, that everyone has done; but you'd find yourself being dead wrong!!

    Geralt (the main character), is the most likeable stoic character to ever grace literary world. (Yeah, this started out as a fantasy novel series.) At first, he may seem like some bland badass, that everyone has done; but you'd find yourself being dead wrong!! TW3 takes the main story and blends it well into the world and most of the side quests you partake in. Along with its main character, the supporting cast, weaves a tale that is full of majesty, suspense and horror. The best way to truly describe the world; think of the show, ONCE: Upon a Time, except a little bit like game of thrones, except with more monsters.

    Minor drawbacks like, visual glitches and a complex combat system can mar your experience.

    Aside from that, you are truly getting an EPIC story and is probably the only game where the DLC is worth EVERY PENNY and could've just been another game. Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine will run you around 30 dollars, but they are easily worth 50 together!!

    Easily the best RPG since Final Fantasy 6 and 7    … Expand

    The problem I have with this game is that I just can't get into Garelt's head space. Every other game I have played, I could connect with the player character to some extent; Regardless of whether they were a blank slate or had little to no narrative choice. In this game, somehow, every single choice I make feels out of character, and I just can't rap my head around why.

    This game is in a league of its own. Even on my second play through I'm discovering new things and side quests that I had missed the first time round.

Even on my second play through I'm discovering new things and side quests that I had missed the first time round. Side quests in this game should be the standard of side quests, one series of side quests is basically bare knuckle fighting, one of the first fighters I challenged asked for a favour that I would throw the fight because he had a family to look after. Rejecting his request and beating him, I was able to approach him and talk to him where as the player I could give him money out of the "goodness" of Geralt's heart. This is the tip of the ice berg of how in-depth this game is with the plethora of choices you can make that affect the overall world, some choices can lead a village to damnation or it's salvation.

    In the tutorial area on my second play through I came across a father whose child had been killed by wolves, shortly after leaving his house I came upon the wolves and I too was killed, given how the save works in this game I spawned to just before I approached the house of the father who had lost his child, so wanting to bring justice I went to speak to the Dad again, only to find out that this time the Father had been killed and the child was left an orphan. Again this is the tip of the iceberg of what a player can come across.

    Exploration rewards the player with experience to level up, loot that can be traded for money (which you will need) gwent cards (which is an addictive game when you understand it), swords, bombs, crossbows, potions, decoctions, armour, as well as diagrams for each of these so you can create new gear; as well as finding bestiary info (to help give you knowledge in what's best to kill a particular enemy). Assigning mutagens is a great way for customising the player experience for how they want to play, if they want to focus on attack they can build up their strength with defence, if they want to be all rounded they can assign mutagens to increase attack, defence, signs (magic) as well as inventory weight capacity.

    Exploration also rewards the layer with useful items such as equipment for Roach (Geralt's horse) so that you can increase the weight capacity as well as Roach's effectiveness in galloping as well as resilience to fear.

    You thought that was it? No, there's ruins to explore where Gerald can lift the curse or if he makes a mistake this can lead to the downfall of someone much later in the game. There's monster nests that can be destroyed, the monsters range from water creatures, giant centipedes, nekkers, giant spiders, giant insects, etc some of which if cleared it will cause a return of the human populace to that area. There's underwater exploration as well as a potion to increase underwater breathing. The DLC's just open up the game a lot more and one dlc in particular depending on the outcome changes the circumstances of where Geralt is on the next play through i.e. originally starting off you're in Karen Morhen, whereas depending on the dlc outcome you will start elsewhere and have to find out how to reach your objective (not gonna mention spoilers).

    Combat is really satisfying when you get used to it, which doesn't take too long, especially when you start increasing the signs. Story was also pretty solid, one aspect I really love was how CDPR blended a fantasy game with basically a detective mode (Witcher senses) as this creates a whole other layer of depth and tests the intuition of the player. There's just way to much to say about this game, with the PS5 version of this with more added content, it's definitely a Masterpiece, unfortunately that word is overused in fandoms but here it's completely justified.    … Expand

    One of very few games I can comfortably say is 10/10. Detailed side quests, beautiful open worlds, fantastic story, great combat. Sets the bar not just for open world RPG's but every game. Hated fantasy RPG's before this and still have tried many since that I didn't like but this game is utterly amazing.

    Unpopular opinion, but I found The Witcher 3 to be incredibly average. Disclaimer: I tried playing Witcher 2 a few years back, but it was too difficult and complex for me.

    First off, Witcher 3 is much better and more accessible than 2, where the creation of potions, crafting, and use of traps is only required on higher difficulties. Now, the combat to me is still pretty boring: mostly    Unpopular opinion, but I found The Witcher 3 to be incredibly average. Disclaimer: I tried playing Witcher 2 a few years back, but it was too difficult and complex for me.

    First off, Witcher 3 is much better and more accessible than 2, where the creation of potions, crafting, and use of traps is only required on higher difficulties. Now, the combat to me is still pretty boring: mostly hack n slash, roll, and use some spells, but it is slow paced and clunky compared to other current action-RPGs. There are many exciting boss battles and combat sequences, but most of the combat is clunky and repetitive.

    That being said, the amount of content, open world, graphics and story of Witcher 3 are outstanding. There is so, so much to do, the story is engrossing with many choices that actually matter and impact the story, and I had the most fun exploring the open world. The side quests are also all meaningful, with unique scenarios and actually fleshed out characters (instead of fetch quests with carbon copy NPCs like almost every other action RPG). The story and exploration of the beautiful open world kept me going through the game, even if the combat was mostly boring for me.

    Overall, I would say the Witcher 3 is worth playing for fans of action-RPGs, and those looking for a good story in a game. However, if you are not a fan of the genre, this game won't sway you.    … Expand

    El videojuego del cual estoy puntuando aquí y ahora es espectacular se mire por donde se mire, desde los páramos desérticos sin nada hasta los bosques imponiendo yuyu repletos de monstruos, pasando por unos diálogos reforzados con letras diminutas pa que no se vea na de na, ¿para qué si la mayor parte del tiempo estás hablando con gente desconocida?
    A esto ya que saco el tema decir que hace falta sacarse algún novel de lectura o ser de letras o algo para entender la historia. Ya sé que está basado en un libro pero no es excusa para que no te lo cuenten bien, faltan una barbaridad de cosas y eso con su duración es imperdonable, muchas misiones mata-monstruos y cien-mil horas de diálogo para nada.
    Lo mejor es quizás su ambientación en éste aspecto recalcar que la versión Wild Hunt es más melancólica y funciona mejor con la historia comparadolo con su expansión Blood and Wine, pero igual está bien siendo una trama alternativa.

    Currently on my third play through of this. It's quite simply the greatest RPG of the modern era, probably the greatest RPG since KOTOR (and I'm old enough to have played that when it came out). It's as close to flawless as a game can get, and I can't wait for Cyberpunk. Thank god for CD Project Red.

So, that's why I find it fair to give a 10/10 to this game. I just completed the main story today (completed most of the side quests and contracts but left a lot of ? marks on the map unexplored). It took me around 96-100 hours.

    I really liked how each main area in this game had his unique charm (Velen, Novigrad and Skellige). In general, the game has a nice soundtrack too. However, even though I give a 10, this game is not perfect. There are a few minor glitches in the animations, contracts to kill monsters can get repetitive, the leveling system can be a bit odd and the fact that the game has different endings (which can be seen as an advantage) had some flaws here (won't put details here as I don't want to spoil anything).

    I rate this game as a 2015 game, so this is clearly a 10. In 2019, I can understand that the standards would be a little bit higher. However, honestly, I think it is tough to find a recent game who has the same quality as Witcher 3.    … Expand

    Walking, running, riding horse is a pain. Geralt seem to go his own way at times when you dont walk in a straight line. idle controls are too sharp. No lag (which it should have had) and completely back to 1990´s style. Ugh.
    Riding your horse (named Roach, short for cockroach in real life) in the wild is painful in places where there is small obstacles. Roach is pretty dumb, instead of just do a small jump over it, he decides instead to come to a complete halt or run and go nowhere because of an invisible wall. And you bump into those, small obstacles or a tiny ledge keeps you walking without passing it.

    Combat was already outdated when the game was released. A very bareboned system. Hack, slash, dodge and hope for the best. Fighting groups is hopeless, they all come at you and you keep dodging until you find an opening. Devoid of choices and tactics, the combat is completely one-dimensional and dull / frustrating.

    Story wise its okay. Geralt is your usual tough guy. But overall a boring guy.
    Best and most interesting character is Ciri.
    During your playtrough there is too many characters you bump into, but neither has any develpment or are someone you care for.
    Inventory, menu are too large, clunky and messy with so much you do not need to care for.

    CPR did better story wise with Cyberpunk, but the game was a mess, and this is not unique either when you favour in the bugs. They are there. plenty-full.

    The TV-Show is a much better view. Much better character development and story. And you are much better off watching that than playing this mediocre game.

Apart from the inevitable glitching the f out - as with most games this size - the story-lines are annoyingly long and leave you no freedom to leave or load a previous save. There are a lot of points in which if you proceed, you will probably fail a secondary quest you have yet to complete. You'll be pressing the skip button for upwards of 5 minutes just to get through the excruciatingly long dialogue just so you can load back to a previous save point and complete the quests you missed. Then you have to sit through the tedious story line that plays between loads and when you switch to different maps in the game - probably in place because the load times take for-fecking-ever. Then there are times where you can't follow a quest line how you would prefer because the game makes it impossible to finish a story with a character once youve gone too far. Essentially, it forces you to take your sweet time going through the story lines in the game or else risk failing quests, which to my mind is incredibly frustrating.

Sure the villains of the game, the Wild Hunt aren't the greatest but they still a serviceable to the story and add an extra layer to Geralt and Ciri's story. The greatest thing about this game is that you don't have to play the first two or read the books to understand what is going on, but I recommend it because then you will know who some of the characters are. By the end you will feel satisfied no matter what ending of the three you get.

    Hearts of Stone DLC was a great start to the first of two paid DLC released in the Witcher 3s cycle. The new characters like Olgierd are complicated and interesting and old characters like Shani make a return to give a satisfying end to her story. But when talking about Hearts of Stone the first thing that comes to my mind is the amazing villain Master Mirror AKA. Gaunter O'Dimm, he is so mysterious but yet convincing it makes you hate but love how evil he is. Once again CD Projekt Red know how to give a satisfying ending.... perfection.

    Blood and Wine can be disputed as one of the greatest DLC's ever created and why I gave the upper hand to this rather than Bloodborne. A whole new location in Toussaint and this is one beautiful location, I just sit in awe everytime I reach it. The new characters as well are great and so is the complicated villains Detlaff and Sylvia, but also who doesn't love fighting vampires, so cool. But this is the best ending I have seen maybe ever (even in films), I have never wanted more but also didn't want anything because of how satisfying it is.

    They even released free DLCs, like free costumes for Yennefer, Ciri and Triss and even more.

    Every gamer should experience this game at least once, you will not regret it.    … Expand

    not a bad game but not worth this rating with all due respect , gameplay was a bit buggy and awkward overall , the world altho big didnt deliver any memorable encounters .. other than one that was short lived , the story is great but the way you get to choose your way around the entire game will probably throw into some unexpected ending .

    One of the best games of the generation, the long and captivating history with a excellent gameplay. There is so much missions and side quests on this journey that I can't count. The witcher 3 fulfills your role of being the best game of 2015 year and, for me, the best game of all time

    The biggest fantasy world in the games that I have ever seen. The story is amazing just like the side quests. AND of course characters. There are so many charismatic characters that makes play the game being only more interested after each dialog. For me that game opened a great series of books that I like a lot. Even after this many years, I think Witcher 3 - is a masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best games of this generation. This game and Red Dead Redemption 2 are the best sandboxes we can find nowadays in the game industry. The main story of The Witcher 3 is one of the best stories that video game's companies ever made. Maybe at the beginning could be a little bit passive, I mean, there's a lot of dialogues and if you are a gamer that doesn't like large scenes or conversations, it might be tough. However, when you find Yennefer, the story goes totally awesome. Your own decisions can decide the main quest, the secondary missions are one of the best in the game industry and there are some moments in the main story that will make you feel very very happy, sad or even terrified. The world of The Witcher 3 is amazing. Every place you go, you always have something to do, and this is very enjoyable. The weather is the best one of all games until nowadays. The wind, the sound effects and the illumination is incredibly well done. The playability is true that in the first 20 minutes is awful. When you get used to it's still a problem but you can enjoy the game as every other game. The physics are well structured, and that's a good point, although if you fall from a cliff with your horse, you don't die, the horse disappears and you keep aiive. In conclusion, the quality of the game, its world, its characters, its stories and everything else is superb, although you will need a lot of free time to finish this masterpiece. I want to give this game 9,75 / 10, but I rounded and I think its colser to 10 than 9. If you like great games, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt must be one of yours.… Expand

    The Witcher 3's subject matter, its almost defiant doubling down on its treatment of women as titillating props for Geralt and the player, even as it tries to flesh out more female leads, is its most disappointing aspect. This constant presence weighs down what would otherwise be an excellent bit of closure for Geralt's video game saga — which isn't helped by the control issues that often detract from sequences meant to break up open-world monotony.
